I do not think so. The user guide, available here: http://www.dynexproducts.com/cms/documents/DX-CR6N1_09-0198_WEB_V2_English_Final_lr.pdf

states that Windows is the only supported operating system.

If Ubuntu supports it it will be using a generic driver, most likely specifically for the chip-set used in the reader. This reader uses a Genesys Logic chip-set. I see that some folks have tried to use this chip-set in Linux (Fedora, Suse) but all have had issues. Now that doesn't mean everyone has issues, just the ones posting in discussion forums. The impression I get is that if it will work then Ubuntu will recognise it automatically. My searches have resulted in no positive results for this on Linux.
